OUR STORY
Central Jersey Lacrosse (aka CJLAX) was founded in 2001 by Bill Miller, Steve Shinners and Vic Rivera at the request of Freehold Township Varsity Lacrosse High School coach Steve Gibb. Bill, Steve and Vic approached the Freehold Township Parks and Recreation Board with a proposal to run a Spring Program for middle school boys. The first year, the Recreation program was 38 boys. Since then, the program has expanded to include a spring Rec program for boys and girls in elementary and middle school and a spring Travel program for U11 (3rd/4th graders) boys,  U13 (6th graders and under) boys and U15 (8th grader and under) boys and girls, and a summer program for elementary and middle school girls.
Founders

Bill Miller has been actively involved in youth sports as an administrator and coach for over 15 years and has worked in the program as coach, referee, and legal advisor. Bill played lacrosse at the high school and college level, and has 3 sons and one daughter that have played or are playing lacrosse.

Steve Shinners has been actively involved in youth sports as administrator, coach, and referee for over 15 years and has worked in the program as coach, referee and general administrator. Steve did not become involved with lacrosse until his two sons played the sport at Freehold Township High School.

Vic Rivera has been actively involved in youth sports for over 15 years and has worked as the Head coach and director for all on-field activities. Vic was a Division 1 All-American player at NC State and brings his vast knowledge and enthusiasm for the game to the program.

In addition to these founders, the program has been blessed to date a dedicated group of coaches and volunteers that have helped to fulfill the mission of providing a fantastic lacrosse experience to the children and parents alike. We are seeing players that have come through our program find success in playing the game at higher levels, and returning to the program to provide the coaching and support to the next crop of players.
